VideoWhy a silicone surfactant is essential for flexible

polyurethane foam

February 2016

Surfactants are essential for:

• Emulsification of raw

materials

• Nucleation Support

• Stabilization

Example Flexible foam:

High quality mattresses

Major product advantagesIt`s all about well-being & quality

February 2016

• help to reduce of VOC emissions

• ensure broad range of production

techniques and product densities

• provide ideal cellular structure

that allows good ventilation and

heat transfer

• support highest resilience,

durability, strength and comfort

for end products

Over the course of a lifetime, the average person

spends around 200,000 hours on mattresses, sofas,

and chairs.
